'error': 'no handler found for uri [/test_network_data/json/1] and method [PUT]'

[Philip_Doyle]

As stated in the title, when I try to use the index API in python to index a json document, I get this error every time. I am brand new to the ELK stack but have followed the quick start guides on their website and I have been stuck here for quite some time. If any one could provide some insight into what's going here that would much appreciated. Thank you!!

Below is the code that I am running to try and index my document.

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
import configparser
import json

data_file_name = "/home/phil/PcapFiles/test1.json"
config_file_name = "/home/phil/ElasticPython/configuration.ini"

# Load config file for elastic user for ElasticSearch
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read(config_file_name)

# Create the client instance
client = Elasticsearch(
    cloud_id=config["ELASTIC"]["cloud_id"],
    http_auth=(config["ELASTIC"]["user"], config["ELASTIC"]["password"])
)

# Successful response!
print("\n\nConnection Status Server Response...")
print("--------------------------------------------------------------\n")
print(client.info())


# create new index (like a new table in a database)
#print("\n\nIndex Creation Server Response...")
#print("---------------------------------------------------------------\n")
#resp = client.indices.create("test_network_data")
#print(resp)

# refresh newly created index
client.indices.refresh(index="test_network_data")

# send json formated data to ElasticSearch server
print("\n\nData Transmission Server Response...")
print("---------------------------------------------------------------\n")
f = open(data_file_name)
f_content = f.read()
response = client.index(index="test_network_data", ignore=400, doc_type="json", id=1, document=json.loads(f_content))
print(response)

Which version of the Elasticsearch library are you using, and which version is your Elasticsearch?

@Philip_Doyle

doc_type="json"

This should not be used, Elasticsearch does not uses type since version 7.X.

Try to remove this and see if it works.

[Philip_Doyle]

Thanks @leandrojmp for such a quick reply!! I am using version 8.11 for the library and 8.11 for Elastic search (setup through their own cloud service). I removed the doc_type="json" as you mentioned and now I get the following error:

ApiError(500, 'not_x_content_exception', 'not_x_content_exception: Compressor detection can only be called on some xcontent bytes or compressed xcontent bytes')

[leandrojmp (Leandro Pereira)]

If I'm not wrong this error happens when the content you are sending to Elasticsearch is not in the correct format.

What is the content of your file?

@Philip_Doyle

f = open(data_file_name)
f_content = f.read()

Add a print(f_content) to your code and share it.
